PCOS and PREGNANCY LOSS
Even though women with PCOS who are on metformin prior to conception may
not want to stop the drug during pregnancy there is currently insufficient evidence
to support its routine use antenatally
Women with PCOS are however usually older than average when they
conceive commonly nulliparous and frequently obese These are all independent
risk factors for important pregnancy complications including GDM and PET

bull In a much larger study it was observed that polycystic ovarian morphology was not predictive of pregnancy loss among women with recurrent pregnancy loss
bull Additional research is necessary to determine the prevalence of recurrent pregnancy loss in PCOS
bull To conceive many women with PCOS require ovulation induction or IVF and are at increased risk of multiple pregnancy
bull However it is uncertain to what extent the medical condition itself influences pregnancy and neonatal outcome

bull A recent meta analysis of early pregnancy outcomes after IVF in women with PCOS showed no significant difference in the live birth pregnancy or miscarriage rates versus controls

in Reproductive Medical Center of First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College were collected Follow up of 62 pregnancies were performed by prenatal examination in hospital or telephone query to record perinatalmonitoring and pregnancy outcome
bull RESULTSbull There are 62 pregnant women including 5 biochemical pregnancies and 57 clinical pregnancies obtained in 140
transferred cycles resulting in the pregnancy rate of 407 (57140) The rates of singleton pregnancies twin pregnancies and triplet pregnancies were 614 (3557) 298 (1757) and 53 (357) respectively The rate of ectopic pregnancy was 35 (257) Seven (757 123) women underwent early abortion during 7 -14 weeks of pregnancy and 1 case (157 175) with premature rupture of membranes occurred at 22 gestational week One woman with twin pregnancy spontaneously reduced to singleton at 8 gestational weeks Totally the rate of pregnancy complications was 263 (1557) including premature rupture of membranes (1 case) placenta previa (1 case) hypertensive disorder (1 case) preterm delivery (10 cases) and gestational diabetes mellitus (2 cases) Until now 47 women gave birth to 65 infants including 29 singleton infants and 18 twins One female preterm neonate died after 6 days delivery due to pneumonia no malformation was observed on the other neonates 213 (1047) of deliveries were premature766 (3647) of deliveries were full-term 21 (147) of deliveries were postterm The mean birth weight was 2972 gram The rate of infants with low weight was 262 (1765)

PCOS and PREGNANCY LOSS
Even though women with PCOS who are on metformin prior to conception may
not want to stop the drug during pregnancy there is currently insufficient evidence
to support its routine use antenatally
Women with PCOS are however usually older than average when they
conceive commonly nulliparous and frequently obese These are all independent
risk factors for important pregnancy complications including GDM and PET

OVARIAN MORPHOLOGY IN PCOS
bull Enlarged ovaries
bull Numerous peripheral small antral follicles
bull Increased central stroma
bull Follicular growth till mid antral stage followed by arrest
bull Granulosa layer thinning and thickening of thecal layer which leads to increased androgen production
bull Mid antral follicle arrest does not signal the onset of atresia
bull Majority of follicles in PCOS are not apoptotic but retain ample functional capacity
OBESITY AND PCOS
bull Prevalence ranges from 35-60
bull Contributes to anovulation in 3 distinct ways
Increased peripheral aromatization of androgens
Decreased levels of hepatic SHBG
Insulin resistance
Lifestyle Modification is First-Line Treatment for PCOS
Lifestyle modification programmes with an emphasis on behavioural management and dietary and exercise interventions have been successful in the general population in reducing the risk of diabetes and the metabolic syndrome and have had some initial success in improving fertility outcomes in PCOS

Even though women with PCOS who are on metformin prior to conception may
not want to stop the drug during pregnancy there is currently insufficient evidence
to support its routine use antenatally
Women with PCOS are however usually older than average when they
conceive commonly nulliparous and frequently obese These are all independent
risk factors for important pregnancy complications including GDM and PET

A number of problems (genetic hormonal infectious hematologic immunologic and anatomic) increase the risk for pregnancy loss Therefore when early pregnancy loss rates are compared between women with PCOS and the general population such confounding factors need to be considered Inappropriately controlling for these confounding factors has led previous investigators to dispute the increased risk for miscarriage among women with PCOS
